Questions
How big is the Bodycam PCB?
It measures 51.5 × 61.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bodycam use?
5 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Bodycam KiCad files?
From the JayGgit/bodycam repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/bodycam.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/bodycam.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bodycam design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask JayGgit before reusing the design.
